Just when Mian Nawaz Sharif found himself trapped in his negligence of 1992 operations, and also his failure to stop them, and had seemingly no one to support his case other than his part members, someone from the media elite has come to his rescue. Yes, once again its Dr. Shahid Masood! When everyone, including myself, was ridiculing Brig. (r) Imtiaz for coming clean too late, the Doctor Sahib brought another army retired to disprove Brig. Imtiaz. What on earth is happening? Now, this attempt by Shahid Masood to save Sharif is a clear indication of where his interest lies. Shahid Masood raised suspicions about Brig. Imtiaz which is fair enough but bringning another retired armyman to his program, who has never spoken before, reeks much more suspicions and likely a case of heavy payments to appear on HIS show. This once again reminds me of Gulzar Kiyani episode, incidentally brought to limelight by this very doctor. 

 

But Shahid Masood loves Nawaz Sharif, and hates Musharraf as well so the next day in his program he brought Lt. Gen. (r) Tariq Pervez, TP, who has never spoken to the media before as well. He also came to ridicule Musharraf and blame him squarely for Kargil. May I ask, honourable doctor, what exactly is the point of bringing TP? Why has TP suddenly decided to come clean and why isn't he suspicious just as much as Brig. Imtiaz? 

 

I've found a trend in Shahid Masood's program lately, and I have been watching it just to solidy my belief that he is indeed in some sort of pursuit. All his programs being with a story of how the present setup can end, obviously, paving way for PML-N. A real nice way of strengthening democracy there!
